Thank you to all who made "STRANGER DANGER" possible, it was a blast!! espeically Shawn Remfry (BLOG) of FOURTH FRONT for helping out tremendously! He painted the beautiful wooden/gold patterns on our frame base. there was great art and great music to drink to all night (BYOB is fantastic!) ! It was held at the foundation , which is a unique place to hold events. Located n the historic WEST BOTTOMS, the old tattered wooden floors and exposed brick wall adds its own edgy/historical character to it's name. i'd say a whoppin' 300 people showed up! I was very surprised and happy to hear people were interested in buying some pieces, however they were not for sale at the this time.
The theme of my photo illustration was developed under the idea of using the 3 wise monkeys as a vehicle for the premise of the storyboad of events. The title was "THREE NIGHTS OF KOSHIN". those awkard instances of stranger danger consisting of uncomfortable eye contact, violent drunken politics, and awkward silences demonstrates the three wise monkey's (SEE:HEAR:SPEAK NO EVIL). As these events occurr the character is uncomfortable, distracted and alert to avoid dissapointing the Ten-Tei. After researching about the monkeys of the Japanese temple, i titled it accordingly. I used the monkey as a like a "good/bad conscience" figure, and used props to emphasize the three actions.
